the SHSAT is hard, but if you study long and hard, or enter a tutoring program such as Princeton Review, you should get in. I know I did.

department of ed ------- some JR high-schools are doing it for their 7th grade students over the summer for next year's SHSAT test. if your school doesn't have a program like that, recommend it to the principal. (: it'll be a big help to the people taking the SHSAT test! *Wishing goodluck to everyone taking the SHSAT test! ^-^
The DOE has made it clear starting from 2012, that all SHSAT results will be handed to the student on February 28, 2012. Your schools will be the first to receive the results.
My mom :D
You have to audition for LaGuardia to get on to it.
theres no such thing as passing the shsat. Its about getting past the cut line of the school you want to go to, which, in this case is Brooklyn tech. The cutoff for 2009 was around 480, so if you received a score higher, then congratulations! The shsat has no biased entry system, so if you believe that you have been cheated of your entry, call the DOE.
Nope. Kumon is a program designed to make you repetitively learn mathematics and English. In other words, they drill you. The shsat is a thinking test, not a test of the same questions. Therefore, you need to learn, in your math, how to think in different ways. As a rule of thumb, your math should be at psat level, and your English varies. For scrambled paragraphs, make your own essays, and figure out why they flow to the next sentence. As for your logical reasoning, omgpop.com. who said studying cant be fun? And as for your reading, go to the library. Good luck!
To take the SHSAT is free of charge.
The lowest you can get is about 510 but not less
